Description
The Undertow: Scenes from a Slow Civil War by Jeff Sharlet In this thought-provoking exploration, Jeff Sharlet delves into the complex and often fraught relationship between American politics and religion. Over the last decade, he observes how reaction has morphed into delusion, social division into distrust, and hatred into fantasies of violence. Sharlet examines the ways in which extremist ideologies have gained traction, often masquerading as faith, and how this has contributed to a toxic atmosphere of fear, anger, and white-hot rage. He also remembers and celebrates the courage of those who advocate for community, justice, and freedom for all. Through his inquiry, Sharlet sheds light on the precarious present we face, revealing both American failures and possibilities for a better future.
